Product Description

This exclusive formula combines active levels of three analogs of Pro-Retinoic acid (Retinyl Pa Imitate, Retinyl Acetate and Retinol) with Tocotrienol, a powerful antioxidant and protectant. These actives are bio-converted into Retinoic acid by natural enzymatic conversion. Furthermore, this complex is administered to the skin internal and external with a dual delivery system. Upon application, the Retinol Complex cream floods the skin with these very active forms of Vitamin A for immediate delivery and conversion to Retinoic acid. Additionally, these actives are entrapped in polymeric spheres, which gently release the actives with a time-release delivery. This allows for varying rates of bioconversion, which gives dramatic efficacy with a minimum of irritation or sensitization potential. This technically advanced formula is designed for sensitive skin, containing a trio of extremely effective anti-irritants (Canadian Willowherb Extract, Alpha Bisabolol and Japanese Green Tea Extract).

5.0 out of 5 stars better than Retin A, March 28, 2010

This review is from: SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1 oz. (Misc.)

This product, when used nightly, with a good daily serum boosts the power of your other anti-aging products. I used to use Retin A, but sometimes it would make my skin too red and flaky. This gives you the same good result (turning over skin cells faster) with out the redness. A retinol or retin A is a must in a beauty regimen, and this one is the best of tried

1.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, August 25, 2008

Happy Day (Florida) - See all my reviews

This is a nice retinol product, but it is comparable to products I have used by Avon (Anew) and Nuetrogena. Save your money and purchase the less expensive products. They are just as effective. Also, remember you are not going to see results from using a retinol product immediately. It takes up to three months to see the lines soften and the skin glow. Be patient!

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, September 24, 2008

This product did NOTHING. It was a huge mistake to buy this (and expensive as well). I also thought that it had a very unpleasant odor. Save your money. Don't buy it!
